Marsh's big statement against the Bulls

Shattered by a dire Test series against Pakistan, Mitch Marsh believes he has exorcised his UAE demons with a fighting JLT Sheffield Shield century for Western Australia.

The maligned Test allrounder regained his mojo with a stirring 151 as the Warriors reached 7-450 at stumps on day three of their Shield clash with Queensland in Brisbane, grabbing an unlikely two-run overall lead.

Warriors captain Marsh - dropped on Sunday on 41 - shared a 185-run, sixth-wicket stand with Will Bosisto (132 not out) as the visitors recovered from 3-42 to reel in the Bulls' 9-448(dec) first innings total.

The knives were out for Marsh ahead of Australia's Test series against India starting next month after his horror recent run against Pakistan in UAE.

Marsh cut a frustrated figure after making just 30 runs at 7.50 in their 1-0 Test series loss to Pakistan.

It prompted selectors to surprisingly overlook him for Australia's one-day series against South Africa and demand Shield form.
